Skylanders: Cynder Confronts the Weather Wizard is the fifth installment in the Mask of Power series. This book features the Undead Skylander, Cynder, as the title character, who will be joined by Hex and Zook.
Summary
Storm clouds are gathering - which wouldn't be unusual, if it wasn't for the fact that this is meant to be the Cloudless Desert! As weird weather reports flood in from all over Skylands, Cynder heads off on a mission to the Isle of the Undead to find out what's going on. Whatever it is, it definitely looks like rain!
The secrets of the Mask of Power unfold further in this fifth novel in the story series from the pen of Onk Beakman. Based on the characters from the smash hit Skylanders video games.
Plot
The story begins with Cynder and Zook enjoying the sunrays of the Cloudless Desert, though Cynder was anxious on searching for the remaining fragments to the Mask of Power. Soon Hex arrived through a portal and informed her two fellow Skylanders that Master Eon wanted to see them. Suddenly a freak rainstorm brewed, causing the sand dunes of the desert to become quicksand that threatened to pull the beachgoers into the sands. The Skylanders sprang into action and saved the surrounding inhabitants, though Hex received some negative feedback regardless.
Returning to the Eternal Archives after saving the Mabu, the Skylanders discovered that similar strange weather was happening in several other parts of Skylands, at the same time that the Book of Power revealed that the next fragment of the Mask of Power was in the Isle of the Dead, which sent a call for help on the same day. Hex, Cynder and Zook immediately set off to the Isle, fighting their way through the forests to reach the town with the help of the ghost Flunky and the Bark Demon called Dogwood. There, they met the Night Mayor, Morbo the Macabre, who sent the call for help. Though the way the islands' inhabitants talked confused the trio at first, they soon found the source of the problem as the dark skies cleared at the witching hour.
A head-shaped cloud appeared in the sky, calling itself Hurrikazam. At his order, the inhabitants of the island were forced to give it a batch of Batterson's pies, and many were taken along with the food in the cloud's small twisters. The trio of Skylanders attempted to intervene and save the undead folk, but Hurrikazam neutralized all of their attempts and demanded to be given the same tribute the following day, or he'd leave the skies of the Isle of the Undead sunny forever. Though Zook thought it was a good thing, Hex was quick to point out that Undead crops need bad weather instead of good weather, and later they found out that those who were captured were brought back to life and forced to see and smell plants full of life, which they detested. The fate of the captives seemed to catch Hex's interest, but they had no time to discuss it and quickly made a plan to reach the fortress where the true Hurrikazam controlled the weather, the Cloud Citadel.
With the help of Gargantulas, the three Skylanders managed to sneak into the Cloud Citadel when more undead townsfolk were kidnapped. There, they discovered the Undead Energy Extractor, a giant metal cloud device that absorbed the Undead energy of creatures, making them alive or less scary than they used to be, controlled by the real Hurrikazam. Springing into battle, the trio defeated a group of Drow Lance Masters led by Brock who were guarding the captives, but when confronting the Weather Wizard, he was actually relieved to see their arrival. Explaining that he was being forced to use the Extractor, he begged them to help him escape, but soon they found out the person behind all of it - as usual, Kaos, leading another group of spear Drow.

Trivia
- The Skylanders binding themselves to the bellies of Gargantulas might be a reference to how Odysseus escaped the giant Polyphemus in Greek Mythology. Because the giant, blinded, would feel the backs of the sheep leaving his cave to make sure none of the humans escaped, Odysseus and his men tied themselves to their bellies and left undetected.
